Designed by a podiatrist, these are the walking shoes that help to combat the effects of plantar fasciitis with a comfortably soft, stabilizing orthotic footbed that provides superior arch support. Deep heel cups molded into the shoes’ shock-absorbing EVA footbeds align the feet into a natural position for those who over-pronate—when the heel bone angles inward—a determining factor in the development of plantar fasciitis. The shoes have full-grain leather and mesh uppers, strong heel counters, TRP midfoot stabilizers, and resilient rubber outsoles. The anti-bacterial footbeds provide optimal comfort and support when the shoes are worn for at least a few hours per day over the course of two weeks. Medium width. (1 1/4 lbs.) Men’s. White with blue trim or solid Black. Whole sizes 7-12; half sizes 8 1/2-11 1/2; tight fit, please order one-half size up.

The size runs small so get a half size bigger, at least; in my case I had to return and get a full size bigger. They are very comfortable. The only thing that I can say I don't like is the fact that "orthaheel" is emblazoned on the tongue of the shoe. It states to everyone that you have a problem with your feet. Overall though, I am quite happy with these sneakers.

I had really bad Plantar Fasciitis in both feet. The doctor had me buy some arch support for my shoes that I tried to wear but couldn't because they just didn't fit the shoes properly. These shoes from Hammacher's really are what I needed. They fit great very are comfortable and are the second pair I have purchased. They wear well and are well constructed.

I'm giving this product a second chance. The inside lining in my original pair did not hold up to normal wear over a period of 6 months. These were only worn indoors. Hammacher Schlemmer stood by their warranty & has exchanged a new pair. Ideally, I would not have experienced shipping charges for this exchange but I do appreciate the replacement. They are a very reputible company.

My husband has been living in pain with plantar faciatis for months. Nothing we have tried has given him anything but very temporary relief, until I purchased these shoes for him. His podiatrist said these were the best insoles he has seen outside of custom orthodics I promptly bought two more pair. His foot is much better already after only a couple of weeks of wearing these shoes. Thanks!

I have had Plantar Fasciitis. It is extremely painful. My podiatrist said I HAD to have good arch support. For some reason good arch support is hard to find in an off-the-shelf shoe. Add quality and good looks and it's impossible-except for this shoe. It looks good, feels great and is perfect. It is so good I ordered a second pair. Do as the ad says and in men's shoes order a 1/2 size up. I took HS's advice on this and the fit is perfect. I'm thinking of getting a third pair just to be safe.

I just received my replacement pair of shoes, I wore my shoes almost everyday for everything all day long and don't get tired like I used to, and my back and feet don't ache as much as they used to. I will probably keep wearing these until they are discontinued or I die, the improve my life 200% at least. Thank you..

as a previous Plantar fascitis patient, using different methods of treatment including uncomfortable expensive boot --- none of which did the job, My wife saw these shoes a few years ago in the Sky Mall magazine. She ordered a white pair, they worked so well we ordered black as well. I wear them everywhere . First pairs lasted a few years until this recent order. She had ordered a sandal type, and I am really enjoying them as well. We highly recommend these shoes to everyone who complains about foot problems. So far all are having good luck. Very good products well worth the price when it works. Cheaper than the Dr.

I have plantar fasciitis and it used to hurt to walk. I had constant heel pain. Then I got these shoes. My life changed. I can now walk everywhere with comfort. I buy one pair of these every six months and just walk them into the ground.

Unassuming design is markedly offset with both lateral support and full contact with bottom, sides, heel, and top of foot. That supple contact maximizes support if laced properly. I like them for travel, traipsing around, caught in a surprise shower, confident treading on uneven surfaces, the shoes perform well beyond more expensive models.

Always order one size too big. They make 'em small. Bought 6 pairs so far over the past three years. One had a defect in manufacture and H.S. replaced them quickly and effortlessly. I'm a teacher and I wear them daily for my plantar fasciitis. They work wonders!
